Azur Lane launches new collaboration with Japanese visual novel series Date A Live

Azur Lane partners with the beloved Date A Live light novel franchise Seven iconic characters debut as shipgirls Plus, dive into the ongoing Black Friday celebration

Mobile game collaborations typically fall into one of two categories. Either it's a surprising crossover that makes you ask, 'Wow, they managed to merge this with that?', or more commonly, it introduces something unexpected like, 'Wait, what is this?' With Azur Lane’s newest partnership featuring Date A Live, the latter definitely applies. This live collaboration brings the charmingly over-the-top fun of the long-running series into Azur Lane's world.

Despite its title, Date A Live is primarily an action-packed narrative. Set in a future ravaged by phenomena known as spacequakes, it follows a typical high school student who teams up with a group of girls to battle powerful Spirits invading from another dimension.

This event introduces seven fan-favorite characters and runs through December 3rd. Players can earn limited-time stages filled with rewards, including a new Trust Mission that allows you to recruit the collaboration shipgirl Kurumi Tokisak completely free of charge.
